    Dozens!

    (They also last longer than the premade stuff, including the fairly dumb zigbee devices. Though just grabbing some ZigBee sensors is soooo much easier than cleaning up and painting small 3d printed housings...)

    How do you learn? I have some ESP32s that I've messed around a little bit with, and done some neat stuff...But I don't have an electronics background at all and I often have trouble even figuring out how to power the damn things safely.
